Political opening of Brazil → Redemocratization in Brazil – The title of this article should be "Redemocratization in Brazil", by clear common usage in English sources. The term "political opening" of Brazil is a calque of the Portuguese term abertura politica, but the concept is not primarily known in English that way. Some basic data:

Basic title alternatives (6 to 1 in favor of redemocratization) :

• 23 "political opening of Brazil"

• 10,300 "redemocratization of Brazil"
• 19,300 "redemocratization in Brazil"

Possessive form (50 to 1 in favor):

I tried Google books as well, but it's hard to draw a conclusion from the results they give. There isn't a total hit count given at the top, so I considered using the number of search result pages (SRPs)—the 1...10 links at the bottom of the page—but they seem unreliable; they might show 5 SRPs at first, but if you click one of the numbered links then it might show more links; but if you click those, then you don't see the search term bolded in the result abstracts anymore, like you do on the first SRP. So, I'm not sure what to make of the book results. Here are the searches, if you want to try them yourself. The tally shown at left, is the the total number of SRPs shown on the first page (I have results-per-page set to 50; Google will not list more than 10 continuation page links no matter how many SRPs there are, so if '10' is listed, there could be a lot more) but I don't place too much stock in it:

• 5 "political opening in Brazil"*
• 1 "political opening of Brazil"
• 10 "redemocratization in Brazil"
